Haunted House and Halloween Industry Now a $10 Billion Industry
Halloween is big business. The commerce of Halloween in the U.S. should exceed $10 billion during
the 2018 season, according to Hauntworld.com, the industry’s leading website. That’s a lot of candy, costumes, decorations and tickets to haunted attractions. One of the largest growth areas in the Halloween trade is
the explosion in number and quality of commercial haunted house attractions, haunted farms, corn mazes, hayrides and other spooky venues. More than $1 billion of the $10 billion spending on Halloween is attributed to ticket
purchases at themed haunted sites. “Visiting a haunted attraction is now the single most
popular way to celebrate the holiday,” says Larry Kirchner, founder of Hauntworld.com, which directs consumers to find and review Halloween attractions around the globe. The site provides locations and information about all major haunts, pumpkin patches, corn mazes and hayrides.

Haunted attractions strive to make guests feel like they’re experiencing a real-life horror movie, some going so far as to use computer animation,
giant monsters and even virtual reality to provide scares guests enjoy. Many haunts now feature new attractions, such as zombie
paintball, zombie laser tag, corn mazes, haunted hayrides and escape rooms.
This season, families have many options. Haunted houses have become more realistic, but at the same time,
more family-friendly to appeal to larger crowds. So, what is the best way for your family to experience the
Halloween haunt craze? Those with teenagers should seek out the scariest haunted house near them. Families with
younger children should head to local farms. Professional Halloween attractions are now often based at family farms, which typically offer traditional pumpkin
patches, corn mazes and hayrides to appeal to younger guests. However, many of these farms transform into
spooky attractions by night, featuring actors portrayingfrightening characters, creepy lighting and elaborate décor
to provide fear-based fun. You can find the best hauntedattraction for your family by visiting Hauntworld.com.
According to Hauntworld.com, these attractions are rated as 2018’s scariest in the U.S.

1.Headless Horseman’s Hayrides and Haunted Houses - Ulster Park, New York- www.headlesshorseman.com:Located in the heart of the haunted Hudson Valley region of New York State The setting is an eighteenth-century historic manor that was originally a horse exchange tavern circa 1793. It encompasses 65 acres of orchards, gentle rolling hills, woodlands, ponds, barns, and outbuildings. The manor is the backdrop for the Legendary Headless Horseman Hayrides & Haunted Houses.

There is a new theme every year. For 2018 - the theatrical hayride theme is “The Hollow” Before the beginning, and after the great war between light and dark, dominion over this earth was given to the crafty ape, we call man. By this time, the creatures of old were forgotten and man would forever trade wonder, for reason. These creatures have now been beaten back into our memories and banished to live deep in the woods where man shall not tread, but tonight you have….and there will be hell to pay!

You have booked a ride on the "Old Crow Hollow Ghost Tour", a haunted tour to the abandoned town of Old Crow Hollow. The brochure states it will be the ride of a lifetime. Care to spend a lifetime in the realm of Darkness. You may not have a choice. “Something is hiding in the darkness”

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here"- William Shakespeare

In the late 1700’s the country was new, it was wild, and savage. Blood was shed to gain our independence. Things needed to be done that didn't make the history books, horrific things, unspeakable things. Men were hired to do this work, they killed men, women, and children in the name of their cause. The Hessian Soldier was one such man. At first it was just a job, but after a while he didn't kill for the money. The hunt was no longer for mere sport either. He enjoyed the art of murder. The young assassin's stone heart won him a place beside the throne of Satan, but his untimely death trapped his soul on earth for eternity. Forever searching for his head, he continues to take the lives of the innocent only making him even more powerful and evil. Good men, honest men knew if the Horseman obtained his head he would finally be allowed to leave this world and join the other Horsemen and begin the apocalypse. The monks took what was left of the shattered skull and relocated it to a secret location 100 miles north, and across the Hudson River and buried it in a monastery. This area in Ulster County, New York was called Crow's Hollow. The monastery has been long gone and the area became farmland. The small hamlet of Crow's Hollow had been the epicenter of the most horrific spirits and monsters for over 200 years. It was cursed with some of the most treacherous evils since the head arrived. However, the past 25 years the town has been quiet. Not even the Headless Horseman has reared his ugly stump. But tonight, the town has a different atmosphere. The fog is thick and no one is to be found. You can hear the hooves in the distance.... He is back... He is angry... And he is on the hunt... The shadows betray you because they serve me!

An alien virus has infected the secret facility known as The BOX causing mutations and insanity to all exposed. You must complete your mission before you are overcome by the virus or attacked by one of the other experiments set loose in the chaos.

10.Erebus - Pontiac, Michigan- www.hauntedpontiac.com: Dr. Edgar Colber graduated with honors from Yale with majors in Astrophysics and Celestial Mechanics. As a child, he could never take his eyes off the starry night sky. The stars sang a seductive melody that over time became his obsession. After several breakthroughs during his college career, Dr. Colber then re-focused his efforts into the realm of space where the answers weren’t always so clear. Why here, why now, and how? These questions haunted his days and kept him up nights. His world renowned research facility eventually became somewhat of a mockery as he reached points of no return, seemingly driving himself insane. Diving deeper into areas of quantum mechanics, general relativity and astroparticle physics, he searched for the answers to many open ended questions. Black holes, dark matter, and dark energy consumed him as his intelligence was diverted and controlled by the daunting question… is time travel possible. Time Travel became him, his love, his curse, his end. After many reports of missing persons working at his facility… the authorities were forced to get involved. The government revoked his certifications and research licenses, forcing him underground… Working behind the black curtain, in an abandoned facility in the heart of Metro Detroit, he did it! He actually figured out how to make it work! Dr. Colber unofficially became the first of mankind to construct a working time machine. After running trials on all of his personnel he still could not bring them back through the spectrum of time. Every particle and person he forced into his machine never returned the same. It seemed, no matter the destination, the time period looked at their cells as a virus, attacking and destroying every ounce of sanity, like an immune system would a foreign bacteria… Like the destination was alive, breathing and thinking, knowing they did not belong! Hallucinations of the Beast consumed him and his unwilling participants. They describe it as a massive, burning monster, created solely to protect the sanctity of time… Still, refusing to accept defeat, the mad doctor woke in the middle of the night with his most brilliant idea yet… Disguise his time machine as a Haunted House! Now he has an endless supply of human guinea pigs… and better yet… they fund the program. Welcome to EREBUS!

Almost literally in the shadow of Georgia's biggest tourist attraction (Stone Mountain Park), the new Netherworld is situated on almost 10 acres and now has over 70,000 square feet of space in which to imagine, fabricate and bring to life one of the most incredible haunted attractions you will ever experience.

In addition to the haunts, the complex features 3 absolutely top notch escape rooms, a museum of monsters and movie props, meeting spaces, a gift shop that's next to none in the haunt industry, an outdoor midway, an impressive amount of indoor queuing and lots and lots of free parking.

Netherworld as always brings the goods and this year is no exception with two all-new fright filled experiences.

THE AWAKENED is their larger main attraction. Rotted mummified corpses each with a single hideous eye in their forehead have emerged from the depths below Whyshburg Cemetery to destroy everything in their path. Are you brave enough to descend to the forbidden city and confront the ancient horror that created them? Their second (always the "grittier" of their two attractions) is SUBJECT: UNKNOWN. An alien virus has infected the secret facility known as The BOX causing mutations and insanity to all exposed. You must complete your mission before you are overcome by the virus or attacked by one of the other experiments set loose in the chaos.

In short, Netherworld has always been a Must-See Haunted House...if you are a haunted house fan, we'd even go as far as to say that it's a Bucket List experience...but somehow Netherworld just got even better!

10.Erebus - Pontiac, Michigan- www.hauntedpontiac.com: Dr. Edgar Colber graduated with honors from Yale with majors in Astrophysics and Celestial Mechanics. As a child, he could never take his eyes off the starry night sky. The stars sang a seductive melody that over time became his obsession. After several breakthroughs during his college career, Dr. Colber then re-focused his efforts into the realm of space where the answers weren’t always so clear. Why here, why now, and how? These questions haunted his days and kept him up nights. His world renowned research facility eventually became somewhat of a mockery as he reached points of no return, seemingly driving himself insane. Diving deeper into areas of quantum mechanics, general relativity and astroparticle physics, he searched for the answers to many open ended questions. Black holes, dark matter, and dark energy consumed him as his intelligence was diverted and controlled by the daunting question… is time travel possible. Time Travel became him, his love, his curse, his end. After many reports of missing persons working at his facility… the authorities were forced to get involved. The government revoked his certifications and research licenses, forcing him underground… Working behind the black curtain, in an abandoned facility in the heart of Metro Detroit, he did it! He actually figured out how to make it work! Dr. Colber unofficially became the first of mankind to construct a working time machine. After running trials on all of his personnel he still could not bring them back through the spectrum of time. Every particle and person he forced into his machine never returned the same. It seemed, no matter the destination, the time period looked at their cells as a virus, attacking and destroying every ounce of sanity, like an immune system would a foreign bacteria… Like the destination was alive, breathing and thinking, knowing they did not belong! Hallucinations of the Beast consumed him and his unwilling participants. They describe it as a massive, burning monster, created solely to protect the sanctity of time… Still, refusing to accept defeat, the mad doctor woke in the middle of the night with his most brilliant idea yet… Disguise his time machine as a Haunted House! Now he has an endless supply of human guinea pigs… and better yet… they fund the program. Welcome to EREBUS!

Filming for the movie Shawshank Redemption in Mansfield Ohio wrapped their final scene in the Fall of 1993. At the end of that day, the wrecking ball began destroying the magnificent 100 year old haunted structure and all of the history within. Fortunately, a small band of intrepid visionaries were able to stop the demolition. All of the outside buildings and walls were gone, but the castle-like main structure and central cell blocks remained untouched. Because of their dedication, the building, along with many of its stories, lives on today. With a 100 year history of legitimate hauntings in what was aptly nicknamed “Dracula’s Castle” in the 1800’s, this is absolutely a true haunted experience.

The folklore of the building is nothing short of diabolical. There are many inmates that still walk the halls of the Ohio State Reformatory (OSR) in search of something most have not yet figured out. Reports of shadow men darting in and out of the cells and the disembodied voices creeping from empty rooms keep visitors coming back year after year to participate in the Ohio State Reformatory GHOST HUNTS.

Doors slamming, visitors being pushed or touched, and equipment failure are some of the many experiences ghost hunters find when traipsing around the dark building during the twilight hours. The allure of such activity has sparked the interest of many paranormal shows that highlight haunted facilities such as the OSR. This magnificent haunted structure has been featured on My Ghost Story, Paranormal Challenge, Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters Academy, Ghost Hunters, and Scariest Places on Earth. There's a lot of activity that happens in the darkness, and reports from investigators that paranormal activity is at its highest during and after Halloween because the spirits have been disturbed.

This year’s twisted haunt, ESCAPE FROM BLOOD PRISON, is being led by the dark imaginings of Undead Studios’ owner Vic Amesquita. Vic has worked with legends of the haunt world including terror master and special effects icon, Robert Kurtzman. Vic brings his own special brand of scary titillating fun and macabre and sinister terror to the Reformatory.

Covering 100,000 square feet , Blood Prison will be a horrific haunt experience not soon forgotten. With ever expanding future plans beyond this year and into the future, guests can plan to experience something new every time they come, and they do come!
